Tom,

Correction..........Your Turbine hsg is 0.60 A/R ratio !!.................<:)

Tom,

I think Greg's 1.06 A/R turbine hsg is probably in the ballpark..........Your 0.72 hsg (corrected 0.60)

will probably be a screamer off the ground and for racing but may tend to have excess back pressure

and over-speed at cruising altitudes............You may have to have an extra turbine hsg for cruise to

reduce wear on your turbo since your ship will be dual purpose...................The current group flying

Turbo/13B's with TO4 turbine sections have 0.98 to 1.15 A/R hsgs..........My TO4E-50 has a 1.15 A/R

hsg for cruising at oxygen levels (12,000 msl +)............Your 20B flows 1/3 again more air than the 13B

and of course all of our projects will take flight testing to prove out all these guesstimates.........IMHO

Hey Tom;
Ours is the 1.06 A/R, and as you can see, we are going straight out the side of the cowling.
Boost wise, we have a box of springs for the wastegate, and will wait for the dyno tests to find out our best settings. With the prop configuration we have, we anticipate not a hell of a lot of acceleration, until we hit around 120 Knots, and then watch out........(:-)

Greg: I am using the GT4294 56Trim 0.60 A/R Water/oil cooled . The 4088 is 54Trim 0.72 A/RI thought this might work better to keep the exhaust from backing up.It will be slow on bottom end ,but start making power around 3500 and up.. We are looking at about the power you are expecting. How much boost are you using? I am also curious what your intake plenum cost to build.
